Port Macquarie to remember 'sorry' anniversary

The anniversary of the Prime Minister's national apology to the Stolen Generations will be marked in Port Macquarie this morning.

Local Aboriginal elders, as well as the council staff, will gather for a special morning tea.

The council's director of community and cultural development, Lesley Atkinson, says council is committed to ensuring the reconciliation process is ongoing and successful.

She says the council has recently adopted a reconciliation plan and action plan.

"One of the other initiatives that the council has taken to with a great deal of gusto, which is really good to see, is that they've adopted a 'welcome to country' or 'acknowledgment of country' at the commencement of any of our formal council meetings or council run civic functions," she said.

"That's a really good way of reminding people that we need to keep on working on that relationship."
